Title: Rash of Spammers
Post by: Naaman on 16 November 2008, 02:11:28 am

We've had recent influx of spammers\spambot accounts (checked through http://www.stopforumspam.com/). All the IPs and Usernames have been banned and validation has been added to the membership sign up

Mistakes do happen though and if you have been banned in error you should be able to PM me and you can always contact another player in-game to ask on your behalf.

Sorry for inconvenience and thanks for your patience


(and yes, I have got a cream for the rash  ;))

Beefed up the registration process and restricted guest access to General <game> boards only.

If you're genuine and are having trouble - my apologies  :( Contact your recruiter in-game with a valid e-mail address and I can make an account for you OR contact me at <my forum name>@forlorn-hope.<look up at your address bar> (e-mail obfuscated for the normal reasons)
